And of this raid I wish to say, in conclusion, that no enterprise was ever better planned and more thoroughly carried out. It has cleared the country East of the Johns of rebels, has relieved and encouraged the Unionists of Florida, and has put into the hands of the Government not less than worth of property in cotton and cattle. A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, writing from Tallahassee under date of the 15th instant, gives the following interesting items from Florida: There cannot be many Yankee troops now in Jacksonville. We captured in a skirmish last week seven of their cavalry, or rather mounted infantry, they having dismounted their cavalry there and sent the men to Virginia.

A detachment was ordered to advance at daylight upon the place to occur the cotton stored there. A considerable quantity was captured, and in the Lagoon, a short distance from the town, we took two schooners, blockade runners, from Nassau. They were both crammed with cotton and their decks were maded with it. These vessels, the Fannie and the Shell, were eventuality sent to Jacksonville, and the cotton take in charge of by the Treasury Agency. I took passage on one of them from Smyrna to the St Johns river, and consequently ended thus my connection with Gen Birney's raid.

The Mary Benton carried a considerable force of negro troop and had six large boats in low. At Picolata the Harriet Weed took on board a detachment of the 75th N Y, and some mounted infantry. As we went up we took possession of every boat on the west side of the Johns, including a small stoop which, no doubt, was the boat used by the rebels in laying torpedoes in the river.

Mayor's Court. --The following cases were before the Mayor yesterday morning: Enoch Pelton, a member of the 11th Virginia cavalry, was charged with stealing a horse from Camp Lee, which had been sent there by Lieut. Edward Moore, of the 5th South Carolina cavalry. Officer Jenkins found the animal in Granville Montelle's stable, on Wednesday night where it had been deposited by Pelton.
